The matter contained in this booklet has been largely delivered in some ad- dresses from the Chapel platform of Asbury College. Some of this matter has been used in several sermons at camp meetings and other religious gatherings. A good many friends, as well as myself, feel that the contents of this booklet may be of special value at this time. I grieve over the loss of any man's I believe those men, college professors, preachers, students and all men and women who are departing from the faith, who are speaking lightly of the written Word of God, and the Son of God, have gone into a fearful apostasy. I have no faith in the faith of those whose faith does not embrace the Lord Jesus as God manifest in the flesh and dying on the Cross for the free and full redemption of all those who come to God by Him. Let those who read the contents of this booklet pass it on to others. If the blessing of God may attend it and it may be used to prevent the apostasy of some precious soul, I shall be thankful. --- Alternate Title: The Recrucifixion of the Lord Jesus

I have often wished for a booklet on this subject so cheap that the poor could buy it, so small that he busy could read it, and so plain that those of the most ordinary learning and intelligence could understand it.I have preached the truth herein contained to many thousands of people, and God has graciously put the seal of His approval on the Word in the conversion of a multitude of sinners, and the sanctification of many believers. I send it out with the prayer that God may make it a blessing to many, and with the request that those who read it with profit will pass it on to others. Your brother, H. C.

Second, the by the Holy Spirit of the individual in the early morning of life. Third, that Christian Education which prepares one for the duties of life, and produces intelligent, citizenship. Fourth, industry, beginning in early youth, that will take the place of the advantages of the city gymnasium; hoe-handle exercises that will make one healthy, industrious, guarding against wastefulness and producing a spirit of economy. Fifth, the prompt enforcement of law, so that those who are criminally inclined will be deterred, realizing that if they do violate the law they will be promptly and severely punished.Leaving out the items mentioned above, or anyone of them, we break the strong, golden chain that would bind our civilization together for the very best there is for the times in which we are living, and the future history of our country. I am hoping this booklet will have a wide circulation and thoughtful reading. Respectfully H. C. Morrison --- CONTENTS 1. The Hickory Limb 2. The Mourner's Bench 3. The Book 4. The Hoe 5.

The digital copies of this book are available for free at First Fruit's website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits FORWARD This winter, while kept out of the pulpit by illness, I determined to speak. as far as possible, through the press to the people in the form of a series of practical sermons. The sermons contained herein are not doctrinal, but as indicated by the title, "Sermons for the Times." I have a conviction that there is great need for just such proclamation of truth as is 'herein contained. A few days ago, after the book was set up, proved and ready for the press, I fell upon an address signed by all of the Bishops of the M. E. Church, South. I clipped from that address a few paragraphs which I believe to be startlingly true, the substance of which was in my mind in the writing of the following sermons, and is my apology for sending out this book to the public. "We have fallen on troublesome times. The whole world is turned upside down. Waves of crime are sweeping over our beloved country. Disregard of the Christian Sabbath and indifference to the sanctity of marriage have become distressingly common among our American people. Even many church members have become 'lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God."Selfishness reigns in all departments of life--in the dealings of capital with labor and in the dealings of labor with capital. "There is but one hope for America-in the religion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For there is no foundation for prosperity either national or individual, except in morality; and there is no sure foundation for morality except in religion. Without religion morality has no compelling sanctions, and no sufficient dynamic. "Forty years ago Christlieb, a great German preacher, warned his countrymen that their Kultur was separating itself from the Christian religion and, if not cheeked, would plunge Germany into the abyss. His prophetic warning was not heeded. Germany plunged into the abyss and came near wrecking the whole world. "Let America be warned. Philosophy, science, and even religion have in most of our American universities gone far astray from the principles and practices which have made America great as a nation. The greatest menace to our Republic just now is moral and spiritual bankruptcy." The only hope for the nation is in the religion of the Lord Jesus and warning of this fact must be brought home to the people by an earnest and powerful appeal from, the ministry. We must return to faith in the Bible, to the fear of God, to the great doc- trine of the New Birth. We must insist that the individual be born again; the people must be brought to hate sin and to love holiness. Faithfully H. C.

The World War In Prophecy: The Downfall Of The Kaiser And The End Of The Dispensation is a book written by Henry Clay Morrison in 1917. The book is centered around the events of World War I and how it relates to biblical prophecy. Morrison argues that the war was predicted in the Bible and that it marks the end of a dispensation, or period of time, in which certain prophecies were meant to be fulfilled. The book begins with an overview of the war and its causes, including the role of Germany and the Kaiser in starting the conflict. Morrison then delves into biblical prophecy, drawing connections between the war and various passages from the Old and New Testaments. He argues that the war is a sign of the end times and that it is part of God's plan for the world.Throughout the book, Morrison also discusses the role of America in the war and how the country fits into biblical prophecy. He argues that America is a key player in the war and that its involvement is part of God's plan for the world. Overall, The World War In Prophecy: The Downfall Of The Kaiser And The End Of The Dispensation is a religious interpretation of World War I and its significance in biblical prophecy. It is a thought-provoking read for those interested in the intersection of religion and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The digital copies of this book are available for free at First Fruits website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits PREFACE Most of the the sermons in this book have been preached in revival meetings, and at the great camp-meetings throughout the nation, and have been blessed of God in helping to lead many souls to salvation through faith in Christ. A large number of my friends in many parts of the country have insisted that I have them published in book form. I am having them published, and am sending them forth with the prayer and hope that they may prove helpful to all those who may read them. I am growing old, and have a desire that this book may carry a message of salvation to hungry human hearts long after I have ceased to speak.If in its pages the reader can find anything of interest and helpfulness I shall be grateful. I want the contents of this book to bear witness through the years to my undying faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal and all-sufficient Saviour. There sermons are but a poor expression of some of the great truths of that Gospel which is the power of God unto salvation. May the Holy Spirit illuminate the minds of those who may read the contents of this book, to discover in our blessed Lord Jesus one able to save to the uttermost all who come to Him. H. C. Morrison

Numbers of my friends have asked me to write my Life Story, and I have found it fascinating; one of the most interesting features is the very remarkable part of my Life Story that I could not tell without reflection on others who have been strongly opposed to the work in which I have engaged, the Bible truths I have loved and delighted to preach. I have sought to avoid anything that could possibly give pain to any one who might read what I have written. I have been compelled to leave out much that was interesting to me, as it came up in the refreshing of my memory, and would doubtless, have been interesting to others who are interested in me, but the book is already too large; and here it is. If in its pages the reader can find anything of interest and helpfulness I shall be grateful. H. C. Morrison

The only way to find out the contents of a volume is to read it. The chapters herein contained have thrust themselves into my mind as I have read and traveled and thought on existing world conditions. There is a kind of optimism among men that arises out of an eagerness for what they call "progress." In times of peace and supposed prosperity men largely ignore facts, as they really exist. We by no means shut our eyes to the good that is in the world, but in this volume we, are thinking and writing of the tremendous drift toward evil, and what we believe means a crisis in world history. We confine our observations, however, largely to these United States. There is a strange portend in the atmosphere, a kind of suspense. Philosophers and statesmen hardly dare to prognosticate what the near future holds. There is a very general conviction among thoughtful people that present conditions cannot exist for long; there must be a turning back to practical living, to economy, to the fear of God and an altruistic attitude toward mankind, or a fearful crash of modern civilization.

The digital copies of this book are available for free at First Fruit's website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits FORWARD During the long months when I was confined to my room by illness and deprived of the privilege of preaching the gospel to the listening multitudes, my mind was busy thinking of the needs of humanity and how fully those needs are met in the Christ who gave Himself so fully and so willingly for the salvation of men. My thoughts often form themselves into sermon messages. I have put them down in this volume with the hope and prayer that they may prove helpful to those who read them. Through all my suffering my faith was unshaken, and my spirit was restful, trusting constantly in the Christ who is mighty to save to the uttermost. I commend Him, with His willingness and power to pardon and cleanse from all sin all who come to Him with faith for all He has to give to those who claim Him and trust in Him as Saviour and Lord. H.
